In the name of God, Amen.  I Euclid Langford of the County of Hancock and

mind and memory do make and execute the following to be my last Will & 
Testament revoking all others hitherto made.

the farming utensils, Household and Kitchen furniture, with all the stock of 
every description (except what is hereafter especially devised) to be and 
remain hers during her widowhood.
Item	I do give and bequeath unto my son Nicholas Langford, my young Bay 
mare and the use of my two stills, with the still-house tubs &c [etc.] on the 
following conditions (viz) that he assist in collecting and paying off all my 
just debts & if necessary to employ the said stills for that purpose until the 
said debts are all discharged and he thinks proper to remain with his mother 
or use the said stills where they now are, or until my said wife Elizabeth 
either marries or dies.
Item	It is my will that my son Henry be kept at school the present year, 
that my son George have one full years schooling, and that my son Robert have 
two years schooling, to be paid out of the profits arising from the crops.
Item	It is my will that at the marriage or death of my said wife, that each 
of my four youngest sons (to wit) Edmund, Henry, George and Robert, have a 
Horse of the value of one hundred dollars.
Lastly	At the death or marriage of my said wife, I do direct that all the 
remaining estate both real & personal be equally divided between my six 
children John, Nicholas, Edmund, Henry, George and Robert, or in case of the 
death of either of them without issue, the Estate to be equally divided into 
as many distribution shares as there may be survivors.
I do constitute my son Nicholas, my friends Frederick Gibble Thomas and Joseph 
Bryan my Executors to carry this my last will into full effect.  In Witness 
whereof I have hereunto signed, sealed and acknowledged this twenty fifth day 
of May in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ten.
